COLOROW IN LIMBO,
A Ute Chief Who Pretended to Own
Large Fart OF Colorado.

A Ute Chief Who Pretended to Own q
Large Fart OF Colorado.
An Indian campaign which will
hardly be described in the official re-
ports has ended in the apprehension OF
Colorow, sub-chicf of the Utes. who
has been making n nuisance of himself
for the last eight years. writes Green
River (Col.) correspondent. The old
fellow is probably the most conceited
savage on the continent, and there is
nothing that he fears except cowboy.
He is the individual who wanted can
non sent to him. ITO kill soldiers
WITH" was asked. "No." he replied;
''fOr cowboy. Kill soldier with a
club" 1t was not until the cowboy
lent hand that the old villain was in
any greet danger of capture.
Ever since the removal of the Utes
to the Uintah reservation Colorow and
about sixty followers. all rs ex ,ggerated
types of the noble red man as he is
himself. have been roaming around in
the White and Green river country.
COlorow has modestly assumed TO own
the whole western half of the State.
and when money. food or clothing run
short he and his party would appear at
settlements and collect what they were
pleased to call "rent" The gang
rarely, if ever. committed any vi0-
lence, but they would steal, and beg,
and threaten. and by taking advantage
of timid settlers they made fair liy-
ing. and had the satisfaction besides Of
running the country to sui. themselves.
When new ranch or settlement was
located Colorow would visit the place,
and insist on having a heap Of big
talk with the whites interested. At
first they would apprehend mischief.
but when they discovered that the old
rcprobate simply claimed to he the
owner of that section of the United
States and wanted years rent in the
form Of fve-dollar bill. a steer. or a
few old coats or hats. they yielded to
his terms gladly and asked him to call
again when he felt like it. In this way
his consuming egotism increased day
by day, until at length ne became an
intOlerable bore 10 many settlers, and
the complaints against him were SO
numerous that three companies Of
troops were sent out to bring him in.
This campaign was a friendly one.
Colorow knows every inch Of ground
in the State, and it was no trick at all
for him to keep out of the way of the
soldiers. The latter had several In
dams fer guides. who were paid by the
day, and who were therefore profound
ly interested in having the job last as
long as possible. Not until party of
cowboys was pressed into the service
was there any prospect that this grand
walk-around would come to an end.
As soon as COlorow heard that these
fellows were after him he became
afraid that they would shoot, and he
gave up. Hc will be placed on the
agency and kept under guard-M +

A LESSON.

When the weary heart Is SAD
And the days seem hong,
When the eyes are full OF tears
And life an empty song.
When the burden of the heart
Grows heavier each day,
Oh. tell me. Is there nothing
To help along the way!
All, yes. sad heart! there's pleasure
Not only in the air,
But in the sun and rain drops,
And in the flowers fair;
The kindly words oft spoken
BY those We daily meet
In lingering echoes whisper;
Each hour has pleasures sweet
IT'S true that hearts have burdens
With many doubts and fears
Have dark and lonely vigils,
With many silent tears
That life, at times, and pleasure
Seem but an empty song,
Where weary hearts are aching
And days are sad and long.
All hearts must bear their burdens,
Yet will they lighter grow,
II each will but endeavor
To share the others woe.
So, weary heart, take comfort
For il you strive each day
To ease your comrades burden,
Lo. yours will fall away.

SITTING BULLS FIENDIsHNEss.
The Recent Outbreak of the Gro In
fluenced by His Talk.

ST. PAUL, Oct GA Pioneer Press
special from Billings, Mont. says: The dis
satisfaction among the Crows, eliminating
in the recent outbreak, dates back to the
visit of Sitting Bull and his Sioux braves TO
the Custer battle-ground last summer,
where they held a commemorative war
dance, and he addressed the Crows some
thing like this: Look at that monument
that marks the work of my people We are
respected and feared by the white man be-
cause we killed his great chief and more
than 800 of his warriors on this spot We
receive one and one-half pounds Of beef per
ration, but you get only one-half pound, yet
We do not work but ride and visit our
friends as we please. See your little log
houses and farms. You are the white mans
slave. He is teaching you to labor only
that you may forget the use of your war
paint. The red man was made by the
Great Spirit to hunt and to fight. 1t is the
white mans business to work He is only a

CHANGE THE MERIDIAN.
Another Change Advocated in Savan'
nah's Time Schedule.


! Editor Morning Neps: Complaint is
made, and justly so, by the railroads and
/ the, public of the confusion, and loss
resulting from the use of double time
/ standard in Savannah. The railroad Off
Gals blame the city for keeping local time,
! and argue that If standard time had been
sufficiently tried, the public would have be
come accustomed to the change. This IS
! doubtful Certainly. during the period
/ that standard time was given a trial, in
/ many manufactures. and more households
/ II was found Impossible to get the laborers
! and servants 10 come at the proper time.
Being accustomed all their lives to begin
work at Z o'clock. they would be just SO
much later as the clocks were put back. The
thirty-six minutes were lost, and never
made up.
The city can not accept central standard
time without inconvenience and loss.
1t seems to me that the fault and the
remedy lie with the railroads Savannah
has been hardly treated 10y them. Accord
| ing to the rules upon which standard time
Is based, no place should be required to
| change its time more than thirty minutes.
An exception to this rule provides that
| trunk lines of railroads shall make the
| change from one standard time TO another
| al their termini, rather than III their con-
| tlnuity. Under this exception Savannah is
- CAS~fN'
| back MirtY-siG minutes This is a change
six minutes too great, and what is worse, in
the wrong direction. According to her
position i'll longitude Savannah is entitled
to set her CLOCKS tlcenty four minutes ahead
and have Eastern time Had this been
| done all difficulty would have been avoided.
, Charleston, only four minutes east of US,
| put her clocks twenty minutes ahead, and
every one cheerfully accepted the
| change. How would the adop-
| ton Of Eastern time affect the
railroads! The Atlantic Coast Line changes
| from Eastern to Central standard time at
the junction near Charleston This is
change in continuity, and could be done
equally well at the junction near Savan-
nah. The Central railroad now runs its
great ocean steamship line by Eastern time,
and if 1t must run its trains by central
standard time, let it do So 1t could quote
the departure and arrival of trains at Sa-
vannah an Eastern time, and if this would
not work successfully, it would at least be
much easier to allow for the whole hours
difference between Eastern and central
standard, than the confusing thirty-six
minutes between local and standard time.
Let the city and railroad officials confer and
! give us Eastern time. and grateful public
| will appreciate the same.
